Chapter 220 Twin Lotus
Li Anran and Yang Jian went all the way to the Heavenly Prison and locked Nezha in it.
The light on the Book of Punishment was flowing, showing information about Nezha.
[Prisoner: Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly]
[Sin value: one and a half stars]
[Cultivation: Taiyi Golden Immortal Ninth Level]
[Status: In custody]
[Harvest: 29 million experience points/day]
At the same time, the information about the fake Tongtian also changed.
[Prisoner: All-seeing evil thoughts]
[Sin value: six stars]
[Cultivation: Taiyi Golden Immortal Ninth Level]
[Status: In custody]
[Capture participation: 100%]
[Benefit: 135 million experience points/day]
The lowest level of sin in the Book of Punishment is none, and the highest is nine stars.
However, the highest one Li Anran had seen over the years was only four stars!
In just over thirty years, Jia Tongtian increased his sin value directly from "one star" to "six stars", which shows how much evil he has done over the years!
The situation was urgent, Li Anran did not waste time and went straight to check the life of the fake Tongtian.
Ever since the fake Tongtian successfully escaped from prison that day, he was afraid of being captured by the Heavenly Court, so he had been hiding on an isolated island overseas to recuperate and restore his strength.
This hiding lasted for ten years.
During these ten years, Jia Tongtian created a magical skill called "Xuantian Nine Changes".
This magic skill is somewhat similar to the Star-Absorbing Technique in martial arts novels, which can absorb other people's energy and spirit to strengthen oneself.
Because everyone's spirit, energy and vitality are different and can easily conflict with each other, Jia Tongtian created a method of planting demon seeds to match them.
The fake Tongtian condensed a wisp of his own soul into a demon seed and planted it in the soul of another person.
Not only can it transform other people's spirit into the same demonic energy as its own, making it easier for "Xuantian Jiubian" to absorb it, but it can even control the other party and use them for its own purposes.
Also, because condensing the demon seed requires a wisp of one's own soul, it is not easy to refine and consumes a lot of energy from oneself.
Fake Tongtian came up with another idea -
Pass "Xuantian Nine Changes" to the monsters under your command, and let them transform the demonic energy into demonic energy!
In this way, he could skip the process of planting the demon seed and directly absorb the spirit of his disciples to enhance his own cultivation.
Over the past thirty years, more than seven hundred monsters have had their energy sucked dry by the fake Tongtian!
Among them were some great demon cultivators that he had captured and planted demon seeds in, but more of them were his disciples that he had recruited from all over the Three Realms!
The fake Tongtian even wanted to teach "Xuantian Nine Changes" to Shen Gongbao, but Shen Gongbao noticed something was wrong and declined.
After capturing Nezha in a surprise attack, the fake Tongtian originally wanted to turn Nezha into his puppet to deal with the Heavenly Court.
Unexpectedly, the quality and quantity of the demonic energy generated from Nezha was even several times stronger than what he cultivated himself!
The fake Tongtian immediately realized that this was an opportunity for him to break through. He gave up the plan of making Nezha his puppet and prepared to absorb the evil energy bred by Nezha's spirit.
However, just when he was halfway through, he and Yang Jian rushed in, killed the fake Tongtian, and even shattered his soul.
The fake Tongtian can only be resurrected with the remaining soul in the demon seed, but this resurrection is just a protracted survival and it will never be possible to recover to its original state.
The fake Tongtian hated him and Yang Jian so much that he used "Xuantian Jiubian" to absorb all the evil spirits into Nezha's body, making Nezha possessed, and wanted to use Nezha to kill them.
Unexpectedly, after Nezha became possessed by the devil, he did not lose his sanity, and even his temperament did not change drastically.
The fake Tongtian realized that the situation was not good, so he hid in Nezha's body.
As for why he and Yang Jian couldn't find...
Li Anran was still not very clear at this time.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that it should be related to "Xuantian Nine Changes".
Li Anran immediately began to comprehend "Nine Changes of Xuan Tian".
In order to better absorb the essence of the spirit, the fake Tongtian passed on "Nine Changes of Xuantian" to many monsters.
Although, the "Xuantian Nine Changes" he passed on was only the basic version, the most core method of absorbing energy was not included in it!
But this is more than enough for Li Anran!
Xuantian Jiubian: A seventh-level skill. This skill was created by the evil incarnation of Tongtian based on the incomplete memories of a saint. Current level: Level 1.
Even the disciples accepted by Jia Tongtian can learn "Nine Changes of Xuan Tian". With Li Anran's current foundation and comprehension, it only took him a moment to master it.
Then, he spent a lot of time to gain experience and upgraded "Xuantian Jiubian" to the maximum level in one go.
In an instant, countless insights about "Xuantian Nine Changes" flooded into his mind.
Li Anran quickly understood what the fake Tongtian was like and opened his eyes.
Yang Jian stood nearby, frowning, his face unable to hide the anxious worry, but he did not urge Li Anran, just quietly waiting for Li Anran to speak.
The fake Tongtian was inside Nezha and could see and hear everything they said and did.
Li Anran did not speak with his mouth, but transmitted his voice with his spiritual consciousness: "Second brother, Jia Tongtian has a magic skill called "Xuantian Jiubian", which can integrate the soul into the devil energy and form a devil seed..."
Li Anran first told Yang Jian all the effects and even the content of the "Xuantian Jiubian" and then said: "Nezha's situation is very special. His body and soul are one..."
As Li Anran continued to talk, Yang Jian quickly understood what the situation was.
Previously, when the fake Tongtian used "Xuantian Jiubian" to absorb the evil energy into Nezha's body, the evil energy was completely integrated into Nezha's body.
When he found out that Nezha had not lost his mind and that he had failed to steal the chicken, he merged his remaining soul into the evil energy in Nezha's body and turned Nezha into a demon seed.
If it were someone else, they would only need to get rid of the evil spirit now!
But, Nezha's body and soul are one!
The demonic energy merges with the body, which is equivalent to merging with the soul!
On the bright side, the operation of the fake Tongtian allowed Nezha 's spirit, energy and soul to be integrated into one, that is, Nezha's lotus body was transformed from an incomplete version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art to a complete version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art, which made Nezha's strength more than ten times higher!
However, this also makes it impossible to eliminate the evil spirit in Nezha's body!
After the fake Tongtian merges the residual soul with the demonic energy, he can then control the demonic energy in Nezha's body.
He tried his best to disperse of his own life, and his spirit and soul that were fused with the evil spirit would also collapse.
This led to Nezha suffering from the Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings!
Even though the Three Lights Divine Water is the best healing medicine in the world, it is only a temporary solution in this situation and can only temporarily save Nezha's life!
As long as the fake Tongtian continues to commit suicide, Nezha will immediately fall into the state of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man after the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water wears off!
This creates an unsolvable contradiction!
If you want to get rid of the fake Tongtian, you must get rid of the evil spirit in Nezha.
However, if the evil spirit in Nezha is removed, his spirit and soul will collapse, he will suffer the five signs of decay, and his soul will be scattered.
Li Anran sent a voice message: "Second brother, the best way now is to stabilize the fake Tongtian first and make him agree to live with Nezha. We can slowly find ways to deal with him later."
Yang Jian transmitted his voice: "What if there is another power in Nezha's body that can suppress this evil spirit? Can he slowly eliminate it?"
Li Anran was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's possible. However, Nezha's spirit, energy and soul have already merged into one, and no external objects can help him. How can he form another force in his body to fight against his own spirit, energy and soul?"
Yang Jian laughed and said, "I have a plan! Brother Li Anran, please wait here for a while. I will be back soon!"
Before Li Anran could ask more questions, Yang Jian had already turned into a ray of golden light and flew out of the Heavenly Prison in a hurry.
Li Anran couldn't figure out how Yang Jian could break this deadlock, so he could only wait in the Heavenly Prison, sprinkling a few drops of the Three Lights Divine Water on Nezha from time to time to prevent his condition from getting worse.
In just a moment, Yang Jian hurried back and took out a magic weapon from his sleeve.
It is nine inches high and pure white all over, just like ice and snow. Its shape is that of a blooming precious lotus, as big as a sea bowl. It is none other than the innate magic treasure lotus lamp of the Third Holy Mother!
Li Anran looked puzzled.
Although the Precious Lotus Lantern is one of the five innate spiritual lamps and has infinite magical uses, Nezha's situation cannot be affected by external objects. This Precious Lotus Lantern...
Not external things!
Li Anran was suddenly startled, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be that Yang Jian wanted to integrate the Precious Lotus Lantern into Nezha's lotus body?
But he quickly rejected the idea.
Nezha's lotus body has existed for ten thousand years, and his essence, energy and spirit have already merged into one. How can the Precious Lotus Lantern merge with the lotus body into one?
Yang Jian saw Li Anran's confusion and said with a smile: "Brother Li Anran, other magic weapons, even innate treasures, cannot be integrated with Nezha, but this Precious Lotus Lantern is different! Have you heard that there is a kind of lotus in this world called Twin Lotus?"
Li Anran opened his eyes wide and cried out, "Is Nezha's lotus body another Precious Lotus Lantern?"
"That's right." Yang Jian nodded and said, "This precious lotus lantern is the first twin lotus born between heaven and earth. It has two lamps, yin and yang. The yin lamp was obtained by my mother, and the yang lamp was obtained by Nuwa."
Yang Jian gently held up the Precious Lotus Lantern in his hand and continued, "Third sister, this Precious Lotus Lantern is the Yang Lantern given by the Goddess Nuwa, and my mother's Yin Lantern was used as the lotus body of Nezha brother..."
Li Anran respected Nezha's privacy and did not check his life history.
It was not until Yang Jian brought up the old events that he realized that Nezha and Yang Jian met and became friends not on the battlefield of Conferred Gods, but outside Chentang Pass.
Because Nezha had a three-year drought in Chentang Pass that coincided with the three years he spent in Madam Li's womb, and was born a ball of flesh, Li Jing hated him, and the people in Chentang Pass also called him a monster and a scourge.
When Yang Jian was born, the light from the third eye on his forehead burst out, which alarmed the Heavenly Court and made them discover that Yao Ji had an affair with a mortal, and was hated by Yao Ji.
Although Yao Ji did not call him a disaster to his face, Yang Jian was precocious and thoughtful, so how could he not notice this?
Later, when the pursuers from Heaven arrived, his father and brother were killed tragically, and his family was destroyed. Yang Jian blamed himself and felt guilty, and also felt that he was a disaster.
When he and Nezha first met, they got along very well.
After he knew Nezha's life experience, he felt more sympathy for him and regarded Nezha as a brother.
Later, Nezha first cut off his flesh to return to his mother and cut off his bones to return to his father, and then had his golden statue in the temple destroyed by Li Jing.
Taiyi Zhenren could only use lotus roots to help Nezha shape a lotus body.
However, he searched all three realms but could not find a satisfactory lotus root.
Using lotus roots to shape Nezha's body will allow Nezha's soul and body to merge together. The quality of lotus roots is not only related to Nezha's strength after his resurrection, but also to Nezha's future potential.
It was not until Yang Jian learned about this that he rushed to the Jinguan Cave with the Precious Lotus Lantern.
Nezha only practiced for a few short years but was able to become the vanguard in the fight against King Zhou, and his strength was second only to Yang Jian among the three generations of disciples.
Other innate spiritual treasures cannot be integrated into Nezha's body, but this Yang Lantern and the Yin Lantern that shaped Nezha's lotus body have the same origin, so there is no problem at all!
Li Anran was stunned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Only my second brother can do this!"
Although Yang Jian did not elaborate, Nezha was only seven years old when he died!
He has known Nezha for only one or two years at most!
For the sake of a friend he had only known for one or two years, he was willing to take out the Innate Spiritual Baby Lotus Lantern. Such a broad mind and courage is truly incomparable to ordinary people!
Li Anran couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, does Nezha know about this?"
Yang Jian shook his head as expected, and warned: "Don't tell him about what happened today. Nezha is always thoughtful, and if he knew, he would definitely have wild thoughts."
